Publisher's Summary

New York Times best seller

Joining the ranks of The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, You Are a Badass, and F*ck Feelings is this refreshing, BS-free self-empowerment guide that offers an honest, no-nonsense, tough-love approach to help you move past self-imposed limitations. 

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf*cked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f*cking miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself. 

In Unf*ck Yourself, Bishop leads you through a series of seven assertions: 

  • I am willing 
  • I am wired to win 
  • I got this 
  • I embrace the uncertainty 
  • I am not my thoughts; I am what I do 
  • I am relentless 
  • I expect nothing and accept everything 

Lead the life you were meant to have - Unf*ck Yourself

Editorial Review

Feeling like you’re treading water? Not sure why you’re doing what you’re doing? What you need is some blunt, unfiltered advice to Unf*ck Yourself.

Think of all the challenges you are facing - failure, poor health, divorce or loss, only to name a few. You can’t help the inevitable outcome of unfavourable circumstances and other people. That is absolutely not the case. There is great potential within you to overcome these obstacles and this no-nonsense guide will provide tools and advice to combat your negative inner critic.

Gary John Bishop, the writer of this self-empowerment Audible audiobook, offers honest advice unrestricted by the social norms that often prevent us from fully speaking our mind. Having worked for decades as a personal development coach, he has picked up a few invaluable insights and tips along the road. In Unf*ck Yourself, he shares this knowledge in his own voice. Bishop’s performance is incredibly easy to listen to because his idea is straightforward: You are the only thing standing in your own way. However, straightforward also means brutally honest and sometimes offensive. If you are ready to accept the truth and to stop blaming everything and everyone else around you, it is time to download this title.

Ok, same old stuff though.

I kind of enjoyed it, the style with which its written is entertaining.. Although the whole time i was waiting for some new piece of information because you're told it's not like other books on self development. Sadly it is, id recommend others, specially since the book is on the short side and can basically be summarized as : dont blame your past, beleive in yourself and take action.

Honestly it’s pretty bad. Super disappointed.

I had high hopes for this book given the ratings, but was pretty disappointed. He says it’s not a typical “power of positive thinking” book, but it is. Just with more yelling. Yelling at you to get just over your traumas, yelling at you to stop allowing yourself to be upset by upsetting things. Yelling at you to understand that everything bad in your life is your own fault. Yelling at you to suck it up and basically be an emotionless robot. If I’d wanted to be yelled at this much I’d have joined the army. Unless you’re a fan of the whole “tough love” trope, I’d steer clear of this one.

You are your actions... not your thoughts 👍🏼

This book was great, he does a wonderful job at highlighting and eliciting that today as a society we’re stopping us from becoming great by being in our thoughts, and instead of acting we are focused to much on trying to change the thoughts of our own mind.

Horrible

I’m not sure why it’s getting such decent reviews it just repeats “if you think it you can be it” in different forms over and over and over. Don’t bother

Really hard listen

The accent kept throwing me off, it was really hard to get into. I kept drifting off and thinking of other things, I couldn't really focus on his voice. Also, he kept explaining WHAT to do but not really detailing the steps of HOW to do it. It sounded like an essay we wrote in college where we needed the high word count but kept repeating the same thing over and over just using synonyms to make it sound like different points. Sorry 1/5

Read it Right When I Needed It

I was in the middle of feeling down and out and had a lot of negative self talk and was allowing small things to become big things... no motivation or desire to get off my ass because I was too busy feeling sorry for myself. I wasnt being the best mom or wife because I couldn't figure out how to dig myself out of this big fat funk I was in.

BISHOP's narration made me feel like he was talking to me specifically. I was nodding my head so much, saying "Yes..that's me. I do that. that's me, too..." His accent made me enjoy it even more!

I listened to the audio book twice in a week and after the first time was already making changes and getting off my ass because I felt inspired and was happy to tell people I was in the process of unf!@#ing myself.

I recommend it. I know itll my "go to" book whenever I fall back into negative self talk or doubts.

boring and annoying

this author seems to be trying too hard to sound smart and share some knowledge. he is so wrong. i couldn't get through it without getting either annoyed or bored. his words don'r resonate with the listener. also, the reader's voice is annoying.

Great Companion

I loved this book a great companion to his previous work. Sometimes you need to be hugged and told you're a good person and sometimes you need a kick in the ass, someone to take your Cheetos away from you, throw you off the couch and tell you to get your lazy ass into the world.
